YASS APEX
HOMES

Yass Apex Homes Incorporated is a not-for-profit volunteer body that is managed and operated by the Yass Apex Homes Board of Management. It has provided low-income secure housing to those in need that are 60 years of age or older. 

We can now offer one 2 bedroom home and 40 units comprising bedsitters, 1 and 2 bedrooms units to Yass residents that are in need. Three laundries are also provided for the tenants of the bedsitter and 1 bedroom units to use free of charge. 

Yass Apex Homes is not an aged care facility nor is it a retirement village. We do not receive any government funding, State or Federal for our operations or upkeep.

What Unit Can I Apply For?

For a two bedroom unit or cottage the prospective tenants must be a married couple or a recognised de-facto relationship. Single applicants are not eligible to apply for this type of unit.

For a bedsitter or 1 bedroom unit the prospective tenant must be the only occupant. Only a single person is eligible to occupy bedsitters and 1 bedroom units at any time. 

Am I Eligible To Apply?

To be eligible:

• you must be capable of independent living;
• must have a connection to the Yass Valley region;
• be found eligible to be considered as low income – unit eligibility is means tested and you must provide financial information on the attached forms to enable us to verify your gross household income and assets; and
• be found suitable to join our community. All applicants must be interviewed by two board members who will make a recommendation to the board. This is an informal chat, and you may bring a support person if it makes you more comfortable.

Are there restrictions?

Please note due to the setup of Yass Apex Homes and the number of residents using mobility aids such as walking sticks and walkers, animals such as dogs and cats are not permitted.
